Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Trespassing: 163 Orang Asli ordered to vacate land
Monday, March 06, 2023
Sheikh Madani, where are you when the Orang Asli need you the most?
Malaysiakini : About 200 residents in an Orang Asli village in Kampung Sungai Sinju
in Simpang Pulai have been ordered by a company to move out from the
area to make way for the planting of Musang King durian.
Tok Batin Alang Apok Sitam, 66 claimed that about 163 of the residents were served the notice to vacate the land last Feb 23. He said they were given 30 days from the day the notice was served to do so.
"It's
not that we don't want to move out, but where can we go? We have been
staying in the village for ages and now a developer has encroached into
the area, claiming that they have been issued a land grant for five
acres and want us to vacate the area for them to carry out the Musang
King durian planting project," he said.
Alang told reporters this after handing over complaints on
trespassing into Orang Asli Customary Land to a representative from the
Perak Menteri Besar’s Office today. Alang said he only realised
certain quarters had trespassed into the village on Sept 26 last year
after noticing two heavy machineries clearing the site.
Perak Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad
He
then contacted the individual who claimed to be the land owner and also
lodged a report with the police and also the Orang Asli Development
Department (Jakoa) and the Land Office.
Meanwhile, Perak Menteri
Besar Saarani Mohamad, who is also the State Islamic Religion, Finance,
Security, Land, Natural Resources, Economic Planning and
Government-Linked Companies committee chairperson, when contacted by
Bernama, said he had received the complaints from the Orang Asli
residents.
"I have minuted the matter to the exco concerned for an investigation to be conducted,” he added.
Krabian : They keep harping about protecting Malays and protecting Islam. They forgot to protect the Son of the Soil being chased out squatting in their own land.
RedGopher0486 : No regards to the rights of natives. Shame !!!
mosquitobrain : Bro, no different from PAS run state government in Kelantan and Trengganu. To pocket easy RM million. 'Kamu mati, kamu punya pasal'.
